This was supposed to be about how differently Channel 4 News and News Night covered the Chapman Brother's 'Hell' at the new White Cube but I couldn't work out how to imbed the videos and subsequently lost all interest. From what I remember the BBC's was disappointingly stuffy or vice verse.

Today The Metro featured an artist on page 3. There were a number of points that were particularly interesting to me, not just because I'm an artist (failing). Sarah Graham, the featured painter, is from Hitchin, Herts, I am from Stevenage, the new town next door neighbour. We went to the same University, De Montfort in Leicester, she graduated the year before me (only because I dropped out 'to find myself' for three years) 2000, we never spoke.

"The International Olympic Committee has expressed its serious concern and calls for a rapid peaceful resolution in Tibet," Mr Rogge said.
He condemned the attempts to disrupt the torch relay, saying violent protests, "for whatever reason," are "not compatible with the values of the torch relay or the Olympic Games".
As the BBC reports it, it seems IOC President, Jacques Rogge, condems violent protests but immediately calls for "a rapid and peaceful resolution in Tibet,".

Yes, not one but two blogs. Equally surprising today I learnt that my girlfriend unwittingly owns a one off original by
Pietro Psaier from 1965, also know as "Peter the Italian" by his on/off boyfriend of ten or so years Andy Warhol.

"I always said my taking part in the procession doesn't mean I condone China in any way"
Wonderful words from the ex Blue Peter presenter, Konnie Huq. Of course we'd all like to enjoy a free ride courtesy of our criminal friends now and again, turning a blind eye whilst simultaneously quaffing the breast milk of attention, fame and money... stupid girl!
The Olympic torch carry on was the best bit of entertainment I've seen in quite a while, it should be an Olympic event or, at least, a west end musical. I even enjoyed the novelty of seeing my flat as the procession passed.

Nothing for three weeks then a small burst of imput as flaccid as cold Pot Noodle. I guess I have moved and been on holiday since, all that with no home internet... Until now! Prepare for some venting.

I've decided to see if i can maintain a blog if only for the experience of playing with Wordpress.
